Single Terbaru James Blunt

Jadi, beberapa waktu lalu, si partner in crime mention aku lewat twitter, ngasih link berita yang nyatain kalo James Blunt akan stop bermusik. Tentu saja, aku syok. Serius.

His songs are always in my playlist. Dia satu dari sedikit musisi yang aku hapal hampir semua lagunya. Yeah, I looooove his songs =D

Ga berlebihan lah ya kalo dulu aku patah hati waktu si partner in crime kasih link berita yang ternyata cuma salah paham itu. Jadi, kesalahan emang ada di wartawan yang salah menginterpretasikan jawaban James Blunt waktu ditanya tentang album berikutnya (album keempat). Fiuuuh...

Dua hari kemaren, ketika aku bisa akses twitter dari HPku dan baca twitnya James Blunt yang nyinggung soal email ke para fans yang tergabung dalam mailing listnya, aku langsung bertekad: begitu pulang Solo dan bisa onlen lewat leptop, aku akan langsung buka emailku. Sooo, I was really happy when I found his emails =D *walaupun lumayan telat karna email terakhir dikirim tanggal 30 Juli lalu, email lainnya bahkan dikirim 31 Mei*

Lebih seneng lagi waktu akhirnya bisa dengerin single terbaru James Blunt yang judulnya Bonfire Heart. Lagu berirama riang yang liriknya tetep aja daleeem. Sooo him lah ya, hehehe...

So, here's the link of his new single http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZB5LnNC-e0&eml=2013July30/730536/6011028

Enjoy!

Bonfire Heart
Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky.
Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die.
And I’ve been looking at the stars for a long, long time.
I’ve been putting out fires all my life.
Everybody wants a flame, but they don’t want to get burnt.
And today is our turn.

Days like these lead to nights like this lead to love like ours,
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
People like us, we don’t need that much.
Just someone that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts.

This world is getting colder. Strangers passing by.
No one offers you a shoulder. No one looks you in the eye.
But I’ve been looking at you for a long, long time.
Just trying to break through, trying to make you mine.
Everybody wants a flame, they don’t want to get burnt
Well today is our turn.

Days like these lead to nights like this lead to love like ours,
You light a spark in my bonfire heart.
People like us, we don’t need that much.
Just someone that starts, starts a spark in our bonfire hearts.

NB: Album keempat berjudul Moon Landing akan dirilis Oktober tahun ini. Ah, can't wait \(^^)/ Dan semoga tur dunianya mampir ke Indonesia. Amin *berdoa khusyuk*

Cuap-cuap (Nggak) Penting 3

Hola! *senyum lebar tiga jari*

Wiiih, udah lama juga nganggurin rumah satu ini. Nggak ada alasan khusus selain: fokus teralihkan ke dunia nyata. Hahaha... Lebay yak... Padahal cuma karena nggak tergerak buat posting aja. *nyengir*

So, what's happened lately?
Nothing special, actually. Cenderung ngebosenin malah.
Well, buku dan film sedang kehilangan daya tariknya, hehehe... Yeah, walaupun tetep nonton serial Korea dan baca buku-buku di rumah, tapi sedang bener-bener nggak pingin untuk cepet-cepet nyeleseinnya. *sigh*
Twitter juga nggak semenarik dulu. *ups, ketahuan deh kalau dulu hobinya berkicau*
Jadi, hiburan belakangan ini adalah jadi asisten bapak dan bikin variasi foto-foto nikahan, hehehe...

Saking bosennya di rumah, rasa kangen buat ketemu temen-temen pun timbul. Dan yang bikin rada nyesek adalah nggak selamanya rasa kangen ini berbalas. *halaaah* Huhuhu, pada sibuk aja sekarang. Di-sms juga pada balesnya lamaaa >_< Diajak ketemuan bareng-bareng juga susah nemuin jadwalnya. *sigh*

Tapi syukurlah, sempet ketemuan ma temen-temen SMA pas nikahannya kakaknya Deph (walaupun cuma ma Adis, Dind, Nurul, Cinta and Fitri). Sempet juga ketemuan sama temen-temen Bontot (walaupun minus Vina yang nun jauh di Sampit) pas ke acara nikahan Siti di Blora. 

Nah, bikin kepikiran nih. Hampir pasti cuma karena acara nikahan lah kami bakal ketemuan dan tahu kabar masing-masing. Hwaaa... *lalu terdengar suara-suara mereka dengan nada khasnya bilang: salah sendiri nggak punya FB!* *should I say: bikin twitter nape?* *sigh*

Lah, knapa jadi penuh keluh kesah ya postingan ini? Hwehehe...

Mari disudahi saja lah ya daripada makin nggak jelas ke mana arahnya...

Ah iya, udah pada tau kan SHINee comeback  21 Maret (waktu Korea) kemaren? Hehehe, I'm not a fanatic fans of them, but I do like their music and their face (ya iyalaaah). So, yes... aku ngikutin berita tentang mereka *nyengir* Here's their new MV, Sherlock. I love the dance, by the way ;) Enjoy...

Minho is HOT... HOT... HOT *melting*

Ciao! =)

Note to myself: I should write again =) As soon as possible =D

"Grow A Day Older"

Sedari bangun tidur pagi ini, nggak tahu kenapa lagu Grow A Day Older-nya Dewi Lestari (Dee) terngiang-ngiang di kepala. Padahal nggak ada yang muter lagu itu di rumah. Para tetangga juga nggak.

Selama ini juga cuma selewat aja ngedengerinnya. Nggak pernah bener-bener merhatiin liriknya. Baru bener-bener ngedengerin lagunya juga setelah @adDEEction, akun twitter yang ngebahas behind the scene karya-karya Dee, mulai ngetwit tentang satu per-satu cerpen dan lagu dalam Rectoverso. Jadi jelas, cerpen dan lagu Grow A Day Older bukan favoritku, sampai hari ini. (Terutama lagunya sih, karna cerpennya juga aku udah lupa gimana ceritanya =p)

Karna nggak hapal lirik dan keseluruhan lagunya, jadilah sedari pagi sampai sekarang lagu itu jadi satu-satunya yang aku puter di Winamp, hehehe... Dan aku langsung buka lagi @adDEEction di bagian yang ngebahas tentang behind the scene Grow A Day Older.

Daaan ternyata, lagu itu adalah kado ulang tahun buat Reza Gunawan, suami Dee. Aw aw aw... how romantic *nyengir*

Tapi, emang liriknya lah yang bikin aku jadi suka ma lagu itu <3

Here is the lyric:

See the sunrise
Know it's time for us to pack up all the past
And find what truly lasts
If everything has been written down, so why worry, we say
It's you and me with a little left of sanity
If life is ever changing, so why worry, we say
It's still you and I with silly smile as we wave goodbye
And how will it be? Sometimes we just can't see
A neighbor, a lover, a joker
Or a friend you can count on forever?
How tragic, how happy, how sorry?
For all we know we've come this far not knowing one

So, would it be nice to sit back in silence?
Despite all the wisdom and the fantasies
Having you close to my heart as I say a little grace
I'm thankful for this moment cause
I know that you

Grow a day older and see how this sentimental fool can be
When she tires to write a birthday song
When she thinks so hard to make your day
When she's getting lost in all her thoughts
When she waits a whole day to say

I'm thankful for this moment cause I know that I
Grow a day older and see how this sentimental fool can be
When he ache his arms to hold me tight
When he picks up lines to make me laugh
Whan he's getting lost in all his calls
When we can't wait to say: I love you

If everything has been written down, so why worry, we say
It's you and me with a little left of sanity

Kyaaa, sukaaa \(^^)/

Dan ternyata Reza Gunawan pernah upload video ketika Dee membacakan cerpen dan menyanyikan sebagian Grow A Day Older dalam sebuah acara di sini. Enjoy! =)

Misery (Maroon 5)

sumber

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So scared of breaking it
But you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters
I won't ever send
Sometimes these cuts are so much
Deeper than they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them be
So let me be
And I'll set you free

I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back

Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined
It's not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show
So let me be
And I'll set you free

I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back

You say your faith is shaken
You may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and
Waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused
So far away from you
I'm getting here
I don't care where I have to go

Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
Why do you do what you do to me yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah

I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back



Lagi seneng-senengnya denger dan nyanyiin lagu ini. Khas banget Maroon 5, bahkan video klipnya. Yeah, always memperlihatkan adegan dewasa antara si vokalis supersekseih Adam Levine dengan model-model ceweknya. Album ketiga mereka tetap aja asik buat didengerin ^^d

Aaah, masukin daftar karaokean aaah... \(^^)/

You've Got A Friend (McFly)

It always makes me want to cry =,)

Hadapi Saja (Iwan Fals)

Relakan yang terjadi
Tak kan kembali
Ia sudah milikNya
Bukan milik kita lagi

Tak perlu menangis
Tak perlu bersedih
Tak perlu tak perlu sedu sedan itu
Hadapi saja

Pasrah pada Ilahi
Hanya itu yang kita bisa
Ambil hikmahnya
Ambil indahnya

Cobalah menari
Cobalah bernyanyi
Cobalah cobalah mulai detik ini
Hadapi saja

Hilang memang hilang
Wajahnya terus terbayang
Berjumpa dimimpi
Kau ajak aku
Tuk menari bernyanyi
Bersama bidadari, malaikat
Dan penghuni surga

눈의 꽃/Snow Flower (Park Hyo Shin)

Gara-gara nonton WGM Eun Jung-Lee Jang Woo, jadi denger lagi lagu sedih soundtracknya I am Sorry, I Love You =,(

And I searched that song in youtube...
Nggak nyangka ada banyak versinya...
Tapi yang paling ngenes ya versi aslinya =,<

Well, nggak tahu kenapa, soundtrack-soundtrack film plus drama Korea tuh selalu bisa membangun emosi pendengarnya. Padahal sebenernya, lagu-lagunya nyaris mirip-mirip (efek nggak paham Bahasa Korea kali ya, hehehe...).

Here's the video...

My Karaoke List

Sebenernya, aku bukan penggila karaoke. Ke tempat karaokean pun masih bisa dihitung dengan jari-jari dua tangan, hehehe... Tapi ada lagu-lagu yang ternyata selalu jadi lagu wajib tiap aku karaokean ma temen-temen (at least, sering banget dinyanyiin pas karaokean).

And here's the list:

1. Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt

As expected, right? Hahaha... Since I'm his fan and love this song plus the video clip, I always make it on the list! Nih lagu nggak pernah absen sejak pertama aku karaokean, hehehe... Dan herannya, walaupun aku punya bad habbit, yaitu nyanyi dengan nada do semua a.k.a fals bin sumbang, aku selalu dapet skor lebih dari 90 tiap kali nyanyiin lagu ini XD *curiga, skornya based on kadar curhat di tiap lagu* *LOL*

Lirik yang dinyanyiin dengan penuh penghayatan adalah "and I'm still hold your hands in mine, in mine while I'm asleep..."


2. Hapus Aku, Ku Tak Kan Bisa, Dosakah - Nidji

Salah satu dari tiga lagu Nidji itu pasti aku nyanyiin =D Yeah, I love Nidji's songs... and those are my favourites =D Kalo lagi mellow ya pilihan pasti jatoh ke Hapus Aku, lagi pingin mewek-mewek pasti pilih Dosakah, dan kalo lagi pengen gila-gilaan tereak-tereak pilihnya Ku Tak Kan Bisa dan dengan sengaja mengganti kata "ku" jadi "kau" =P

My favourite lines are:
"Yakinkan aku Tuhan
Dia bukan milikku
Biarkan waktu waktu
Hapus aku" ~ Hapus Aku

"dosakah aku mencintaimu, mendampingimu, menginginkanmu
...
jadi sayangku, bertahanlah bila terkadang mulutnya kejam" ~ Dosakah


3. Saat Aku Lanjut Usia, Melompat Lebih Tinggi, Yang Terlewatkan - So7

Simple reason, aku suka lagu-lagunya So7, dan kebetulan tiga lagu itu yang selalu disetujui ma temen-temen untuk dinyanyiin bareng pas karaokean =D


5. My Happy Ending - Avril Lavigne

I love this song. Dan biasanya temen-temen juga langsung setuju kalo aku pilih lagu ini. We usually scream out the lyrics! Hahaha...

My favourite lines are:
"You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
...
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done"


4. Your Call - Secondhand Serenade

Album A Twist in My Story-nya Secondhand Serenade adalah album wajib didenger pas lagi mellow, hehehe... Your Call bukan lagu favoritku sebenernya, tapi di tempat karaokean, selain Fall for You, cuma ada lagu ini sebagai second and last option, huhuhu...
My favourite songs from him are Maybe and Goodbye =D Walaupun sebenernya cuma suka sebagian besar bagian lagunya aja sih... karna lagu-lagu dia tuh labil-labil, hahaha... Just check the lyrics!



Well, kayaknya itu deh yang paling sering aku nyanyiin. Lagu-lagu laennya mah, ngikut ma maunya temen-temen... Hahaha, namanya juga karaokean bareng-bareng, nggak mungkin kan memonopoli list lagu =P

Biasanya aku ke tempat karaokean kalo lagi pengen menggila ma temen-temen. Pengen tereak-tereak ngilangin penat, hihihi... Nah, kalo pas beneran pengen ngakak, pilihan lagunya makin kacau tuh... Ada dangdut, lagu jadul, sampe lagu-lagu india pula XD

Dan karaokean terkacau ya kemaren itu pas sama Dani, Mbak Gita and Mbak Itha. Mbak Itha udah cerita dikit tentang kegilaan karaokean kami di sini.
List lagu karaokean super random bin ajaib lah itu, hahaha...
Tapi karena hari itu, aku jadi berniat buat nyanyiin salah satu lagu favoritku kalo ntar karaokean lagi! And that song is Sewu Kutho by Didi Kempot! Hahaha...

Yes, I do really love that song =)

Buat yang nggak tau lagu itu, check this video out:

Jujur, aku rada geli ma video klipnya, hehehe, tapi tuh lagu beneran bikin miris...
Buatku, tuh lagu adalah lagu patah hati paling TOP! =D

If Time is All I Have (James Blunt)

sumber

When you wake up
Turn the radio on
And you'll hear this simple song

That I made up
That I made up for you

When you're driving
Turn the radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
Hard these days
To get my message through

If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

When you marry
And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up, that it isn't me

When you're older
The memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live

But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name

But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name
When the song is over



This is one of my favourite songs in James Blunt's third album. Beautiful sad song and video =)

My Interpretation: Best Laid Plans - James Blunt

Pernah punya hubungan ma orang yang 'susah'? Yang nggak ketauan pasti apa maunya? Yang dari tingkah lakunya ngebuat kita pingin ngelakuin sesuatu tapi ketika kita sudah benar-benar melakukannya, dia bilang bukan itu yang sebenarnya dia minta?

Kita pingin bahagiain dia, tapi dia sendiri nggak mau mencoba untuk bahagia. Atau setidaknya tak cukup keras berusaha. Kita lakuin apa yang kita bisa, tapi tetep aja nggak cukup buat dia. Sudah kita rancang hal-hal indah untuk dia, tapi ternyata masih tak cukup indah buat dia. Segalanya tak pernah benar. Segalanya tak pernah cukup. Dan semua itu, mau tak mau membuat kita merasa sakit. Hingga akhirnya dia berpaling dari kita, mencari sendiri bahagianya meskipun kita telah dan masih ingin membahagiakan dia...

Well, sepertinya itu inti dari lagu Best Laid Plans-nya James Blunt. Mungkin, kita pernah ada di posisi 'pemberi' seperti James Blunt dalam lagu itu. Tapi mungkin, tak jarang pula kita ada di posisi 'penerima' yang merasa usaha si 'pemberi' tak pernah cukup.

Sad and meaningful song I think =,)

Here's the lyric:

You don't like it in the shadows
but you won't let me shine a light
I would wash away your troubles
But it seems
The more that I hold on
The more that you let go
And I know, you better let somebody love you
or find yourself, on your own

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

If we don't talk about the future
Then should I just, follow you into the dark
Yeah, and does your silence keep you cold
While the cracks form on my heart

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

It seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn your back
It seems you only want the things that you can't have

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

You can hear the song and watch the video live at Bloomsbury Ballroom in here. Enjoy it =)

Goodbye My Lover (James Blunt)

My favourite song and video by James Blunt =,)

Saat Aku Lanjut Usia (So7)

Saat aku lanjut usia
Saat ragaku terasa tua
Tetaplah kau selalu di sini
Menemani aku bernyanyi

Saat rambutku mulai rontok
Yakinlah ku tetap setia
Memijit pundakmu hingga kau tertidur pulas

Genggam tanganku saat tubuhku terasa linu
Kupeluk erat tubuhmu saat dingin menyerangmu
Kita lawan bersama dingin dan panas dunia
Saat kaki telah lemah kita saling menopang
Hingga nanti di suatu pagi salah satu dari kita mati
Sampai jumpa di kehidupan yang lain

Saat perutku mulai buncit
Yakinlah ku tetap terseksi
Tetaplah kau selalu menanti
Nyanyianku di malam hari

***

For me, this song is the most romantic song ever!
Easy listening dengan liriknya yang simpel tapi bener-bener ngena.
Well, cuma cinta sejati kan yang akan melihat perut buncit sebagai perut terseksi? Hahaha...
